Xenogears and Xenosaga need remasters on modern consoles. People need to experience these games first hand, they do not deserve to rot on ancient hardware
It's really sad that Xenosaga had to end this way. Seriously, this game was epic. Epic story. Epic musics. Epic (well, well done for its time) graphics. Epic characters. Epic cinematic. You could easily fall in love with those characters. Everything was deep. Xenosaga deserved a better fate.
The story was the only thing I didn't enjoy about the series. I get they tried to make it epic, but if you stop to consider, some of the plot points are simply nonsensical. E.g. Every character seems to suffer amnesia and just happens to regain their memories when the story needs to advance. Individuals from ancient times could create amazing technology (on their own btw) whilst in the far future entire governments are unable to replicate this and resort to fighting over remnants. Super powers and abilities are just introduced willy nilly whenever it suits the story - Canaan vs Voyager, Gaignan vs Yuriev, 2xShion summoning Gnosis, chaos 'teleporting' Gnosis to Lost Jerusalem etc etc. The list of plot holes just goes on and on..
@@strife55 i made a long series of videos explaining the story in chronological order starting from the beggining of the universe. it took hours uppon hours of Wiki diving and reading released files by the developers but the story did make sense in the terms it set. the story itself wasnt bad it was just horribly told, mainly because they had to rush the ending and didnt get to expand on some concepts they wanted to. the whole story was written out before the first game even finished but the fact that the story of the second game was actually meant to be the last third of the first game tells you how much they overshot their expectations of how much they could do in one game.
This song is beyond amazing, it really feels like the whole universe is on the line and you're the only one who can fight back against this catastrophic universe ending final battle. The Xenosaga games are incredible and it has some of the best video game music.
This battle caught me by surprise. I never used Chaos, despite like him he was not as strong as other characters like momo or Ziggy. Yet you absolutely need him for the “best friend” skill for this battle if you want to survive fatal Zarathustra attack. I remember having to go back and train him up a little bit to be able to beat the final boss with a different party I was used to. Such a nice memory. Xenosaga 3 is such a great game.
I cried at the end of the game. This song makes me remember everything, especially at the climax of the song, its like the song of a Goddess of Epicness. I can't even describe it....
I love to imagine,based on certain spoilers from Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed, that the fight against both this game and that game's final boss respectively are happening at the sametime.
I prefer the idea that XC3 as a whole (remember, it's a single instant) happens during the Omega boss fight Alpha and Omega, thus, are fought simultaneously
I remember playing this game years ago on a PS2 I used to have. Now, I wish this game would be remastered that included all three games as a collection. It's sad that a remaster was talked about but later on got shot down because of a projected profit analysis. These games are epics that should be brought back to light but may never happen. One can only hope...
Well Square will eventually run out of Final Fantasy games to milk dry and maybe they'll actually do this. (They won't I'm still waiting on fucking Konami for Suikoden fucking 6 but I digress).
@@matronmalice9867 Square doesn't own Xenosaga, Bandai Namco does. Square only owns Xenogears. And after the ending of the Xenoblade 3 DLC, a Xenosaga remake/remaster seems INCREDIBLY likely.
I can clearly picture in my head that last boss fight where this song play, as if I had just played the game yesterday. And I played this game like 15 years ago, so this song is that memorable.
I remember when I found a ton of images that were cut from the original games. It was so confusing because I saw Shion on Second Miltia but with all of the Xeno 1 graphics. Back then, we really needed to search for answers and eventually it was as you said... the content was cut from 6 to 3 games.
@@giuseppejoseph8890 There were actually 3 more other games. A NDS game that was a lite version of Xenosaga 1. Never Released in English. "Xenosaga pied piper" for the Vodafone. And "Xenosaga Freaks" for the PS2 that was release in Japan Only. But yeah. Originally it was supposed to be a 4-5 games. But the Sales of Xeno #2 was horrible, due to the rush to release it for the publisher. Episode 2's graphics was subpar and the recording of some of the Characters (like Momo) sounded Muffled. And lets not forget the Stock system in Episode 2, it was way too complicated. And people bypassed it, by over leveling their characters and carrying healing items to help them in the game.
@@DioBrando90 damn u replied to a comment i made 9 years ago lol. Anyway they dont make music like this in games anymore... xenosaga 2-3 still has masterpiece tracks even today
I still consider this what the story was supposed to be leading up to Xenogears. Because we all know deep down, thats what the original intention was during the development of Xenosaga I
i kinda like how the weird/detached personality of Wilhelm is explained along the end, not factoring in whatever the hell he is. Having reset the world a thousand times or whatever, everything became a chess piece to him, humans lives lost all their value, and basically it all turned into his entertainment. He has near zero emotions because even if he originally had them, they are long gone.
OH MY GOD!! OH CRAP! OH, OOOOHHH- I've been lookin' for this song for years-YEARS!! I heard it years ago, looked up Xenosaga 3 final boss, and kept getting a different song, oh my, oh MY GOD, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!
Yuki Kajiura! I knew this style sounded familiar.... she also did the music for the Kara No Kyoukai movie series, and a lot of the same stylistic touches are present (leitmotifs repeated in different styles, big choral flourishes, etc.)
As unfortunate Xenosaga ended up being, it still managed to be such a intoxicating game that had everything I could ever ask for. Such an unforgettable experience.
@@lordartoriuscollbrande7434 this is a great idea but this is maybe to complicate to financing the développement (sorry but i am french and my english is verry bad)
I love how profound this game is...episode two was screwed up but I still love this game no other game has been so captivating...after all this time I still hope for the continuation of the story...sigh Btw thanks for this upload. amazing song!!!
Agreed. I really enjoyed the story it provided and since I play games for the story I put up with the battle system. Really glad I spent some time and leveled Shion from lv.25-40 at the solo part where she's leaving the Dammerung. Episode III is hands down the best entry in the series, imo.
some parts sound like a remix of 'storm and fire' but I kinda like how an artist can just grab parts from epic songs to make another epic song. PS: the part that sounds like storm and fire starts around 1:25
And yes, they were made by the same team. Monolith Software was one of the teams working in Squaresoft. Most of the team resigned and decided to work with Namco. Monolith couldn't recreate Xenogears' storyline completely because Squaresoft still owned the rights to the game. So they decided to "re-imagine" Xenogears, using some of the same concepts, terms and names. Thus they created Xenosaga, a "re-envisioned" Xenogears but not connected to the original.
Xenogears is indeed "Episode V", but that means is the fifth episode in the Xenogears Universe. The Xenogears and Xenosaga universes are different, they are NOT connected by plot. For example, Xenogears Episode I was the creation of Deus and it's rebelion. Episode II was the recreation of the human race by Deus, Cain and the Gazel Ministry. Episode III was the Zeboim civilization. Episode IV was the war of Solaris, Shevat and Nisan. Episode V is Xenogears, the story that we actually play on.
I listened to this song. I was like "OMG I need this game" so I made some researches and and found out that... this game was never released in France. There's too much wonderful games that are never released in France. It's such a pain...
Te amo cancion ❤️❤️❤️ te adoro y nunca te acabes y nunca te borren! Que llegues hasta el final de mi vida y pueda encontrar lo que busco y a quien buscó
If you liked mobius battle theme, you may listen to the Promised Pain - Xenosaga III(Last boss battle theme) the predecessor of great Xenoblade series and it is oslo Tatsuya Takahashi creation
i sometimes wonder how Wilhelm was at the beginning of his existence. Was he always this monotone emotionless puppet master, or was this a consequence of living too long for any form of consciousness to feel any sort of empathy
The way I see it, Wilhelm simply just exists to prevent the destruction of the universe. He‘s nothing more than a part of nature if you break it down. chaos/Yeshua on the other hand is (to my understanding, at least) one part of the Messiah. He has a personality because he directly interacts with and grants humanity knowledge and wisdom. Wilhelm and chaos/Yeshua are so drastically different because they‘re both entities with great powers but exist for two completely different reasons
Man, Xenoblade's story is fantastic. Though to be fair, I haven't played any of the other Xeno games. Xenoblade is now my favourite game of all time, taking over games like Majora's Mask in my list. The world is absolutely massive and the story is amazing. It also has my favourite soundtrack in a game ever. Pick it up.
This game was awesome the only problem that i saw was the fact that there was no blood (the miltia scene with young shion holding on to what i think is blood makes little sense because of this). I've played through the game about 20 times and the cutscenes still amaze me i never skip them (even those small cutscenes with the dialogue bubbles)
She did do music for SAO so it's not that odd it has traits, this came before SAO did she tends to have a set style and is the Queen of making jibberish sound amazing!
I think that part sounds a lot like the song "Riders of Doom" from the Conan the Barbarian (1982) film, which was used for Zelda: Twilight Princess announce trailer. th-cam.com/video/dgu9rTN-fc0/w-d-xo.html
PSIworld13 Well, then, collection on 3DS!!! It CAN BE DONE!!! And Xenosaga III was a masterpiece. Nearly flawless... Except for the strange and vague revelations near the end... or lack thereof.
Mr. Harada of Namco @Harada_TEKKEN is actually gauging how much interest there is in a Xenosaga HD Remaster. Tweet him your support of it if you'd like to see it happen some day. Let him know!
@Phalanxification That was unnecessary. The way that post was worded they could have meant "i used to have this game, it sucks [THAT] I don't anymore" meaning they did like the game but they don't own a copy any longer.
Thank Bandai for that. They assumed really young kids were going to play a game with lots of blood and a complicated story. However, you can fund uncut scenes with the blood. It's not that hard.
I wonder, if we start a petition for the continuation of Xenosaga, and reach a good number, will they consider making the last 3 episodes? I'm all for the continuation, but as long as they do it well. If they are to release a rushed product, I don't want it, because it would ruin such a perfect series.
I will never forgive nintendo, or the creators of Xenosaga for this, for promising this pain, promising it, by ending the Xenosaga series earlier. Thats what this song is, its Promised Pain.
Just found this song by looking for songs by Yuki Kajiura, and, as expected, it's awesome! Btw, can anyone tell me what platform this game was for and what year it was released in?
@Joehop777 oh yes, that i already know, it was more a rhetorical question than anything else, but it was so good, the graphics were excellent for episode III, and the music and atmosphere..... too bad the sales didnt match the awesome potential for a budding, and what would have been a grandiose game series... did you notice how the female characters were becoming more scantily clad as the series progressed? :)
@Meringue23 The Xenosaga, .hack//sign, and Petite Cossette soundtracks all have very different feels. Sure, a lot of her music is thematically similar, but to say it all sounds "absolutely identical" is pretty unfair.
i adore her music ....BUTTTTT...to be fair....i did hear one song she made which has a chunk of music that is pretty much taken straight out of this song and slowed down. (or maybe it was the other way around.) listen to this song (the one on the page this comment is on) from 1:26 to 1:47. then listen to th is song: th-cam.com/video/Atc51MxhoAE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=eniale92 from 0:58 to 1:27 idk how offten she does that but...it's atleast one example. either way, i adore her music tho
The only issue I have with them, as do many others, is that they are more of an anime/visual book series than a game series. The little bit of gameplay that was there was decent, but was far too lacking. I think they fixed that with Xenoblade, although the game is not related to the Xenosaga series.
Xenogears and Xenosaga need remasters on modern consoles. People need to experience these games first hand, they do not deserve to rot on ancient hardware

I cried at the end of the game. This song makes me remember everything, especially at the climax of the song, its like the song of a Goddess of Epicness. I can't even describe it....
"Yes, you are a man who has lived his entire life without regret. You truly are a worthy actor to decorate the final stage."

Just found this song by looking for songs by Yuki Kajiura, and, as expected, it's awesome! Btw, can anyone tell me what platform this game was for and what year it was released in?
PS2 - 2006
First game is 2002 I think
@Joehop777 oh yes, that i already know, it was more a rhetorical question than anything else, but it was so good, the graphics were excellent for episode III, and the music and atmosphere..... too bad the sales didnt match the awesome potential for a budding, and what would have been a grandiose game series... did you notice how the female characters were becoming more scantily clad as the series progressed? :)
@ElliotCarver Now 15056 xD. Thx everyone!
it was only because episode 2 underperformed, we're lucky they even let it end as a trilogy
@Silver7195 Try looking for it on Ebay or something :)
It's Namco who cancelled the serie, sadly. Nintendo and Monolith had no word in this decision.
@Meringue23 The Xenosaga, .hack//sign, and Petite Cossette soundtracks all have very different feels. Sure, a lot of her music is thematically similar, but to say it all sounds "absolutely identical" is pretty unfair.
i adore her music ....BUTTTTT...to be fair....i did hear one song she made which has a chunk of music that is pretty much taken straight out of this song and slowed down. (or maybe it was the other way around.)
listen to this song (the one on the page this comment is on) from 1:26 to 1:47.
then listen to th is song: th-cam.com/video/Atc51MxhoAE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=eniale92
from 0:58 to 1:27
idk how offten she does that but...it's atleast one example. either way, i adore her music tho
@nerdycub Theres also the Lost year movie.
The only issue I have with them, as do many others, is that they are more of an anime/visual book series than a game series. The little bit of gameplay that was there was decent, but was far too lacking. I think they fixed that with Xenoblade, although the game is not related to the Xenosaga series.
